Description

A delightful blend of sweet and spicy candied jalapeño slices, perfect for holiday gatherings or as a unique homemade gift.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh jalapeño slices
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine the sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the jalapeño slices to the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes until the jalapeños are tender.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Pour the mixture into sterilized jars and seal.
  5. Process in a water bath for 10-15 minutes for canning. Allow them to sit for at least a week after canning to develop flavors.

Notes

Wear gloves when slicing jalapeños to protect your hands from the heat. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
